President Trump will meet today with the head of NATO Mark Rutte at the White House to try to smooth over frayed relations with that body in the wake of European leaders’ refusal to help keep the Strait of Hormuz open. President Trump has threatened to pull out of NATO and bring American troops home and European leaders are terrified he might do it. Despite agreeing to pay more to defend themselves European leaders still haven’t taken action to back up their words. President Trump has reached the end of his patience with them and rightly so. I still believe that European leaders refused to participate because their countries have large populations of radical Muslims who support the Mullahs of Iran and Europeans are afraid they will take to the streets to protest or worse. At this point in time, I don’t see any benefit to protecting Europe especially since they still refuse to protect themselves. I believe President Trump should give European leaders thirty days to clean up their act and if they refuse Congress should take up the question to decide if we should leave that organization.

A tenuous ten-point deal has been brokered through Pakistan, and a cease fire has been reached in the bombing of Iran. Will this finally get President Trump the Nobel Prize. Not according to Democrats, members of the media and some European leaders who say this is a massive victory for Iran a deal that has only weakened America while strengthening Iran, Russia and China. Don’t even ask how these Trump haters arrive at this silly conclusion because it doesn’t bear repeating. The bombing campaign of Iran has been brilliantly executed, and sane people everywhere hope the cease fire will not be broken and that a lasting agreement can be worked out that will bring peace to the region and end the threat of a nuclear Iran. But that will not stop the haters from spinning the story as a defeat for President Trump and America and only time will tell if the campaign is a true success. Those of us who are not filled with hate hope it is a victory for America, the Middle East and most importantly for the Iranian people who may finally be free from the tyrannical leaders who have controlled the country for so many years. I can only feel sorry for people who are so filled with hate that they want the cease fire to be broken and for the peace plan to fail. I hope it works even though I do not trust Iranian leaders who have lied repeatedly for so many years. Perhaps the threat of total annihilation will keep them in line. If not, they know they will face severe consequences. It is the first chance for peace in many years and I hope it works.

There are 1,018 days until the next President of the United States is sworn in. For democrats the days are long and sad. For Republicans they are short and wonderful.

Deal or no Deal? The Iranians have until 8PM tonight to make up their minds to agree to a deal to bring peace or face the end of their civilization. That doesn’t seem like much of a choice but given the history of the insanity that infects their leaders there is no telling what will happen. President Trump has vowed to bomb their power plants and bridges effectively shutting down the nation. Democrats and members of the media say if he does it he will face charges of war crimes under international law. They forget to mention that the United States does not recognize international law especially since the groups running it are corrupt and anti-American. It is a joke to say bombing Iran’s power plants and bridges is a crime under international law, but it is no joke for the Iranian people if the bombing happens. Iranian leaders should take that into account when deciding whether or not to make a deal.

This Friday it will be four weeks since I planted the broccoli seeds. They are beginning to look like real plants now. Next week I will start putting them outdoors during the daytime so they can get used to being out in the weather. Then I will plant the tomato and pepper seeds and get them started.

There are 1,019 days until the next President of the United States is sworn in. For democrats the days are long and sad. For Republicans they are short and wonderful.

Today at a press briefing a New York Times reporter warned President Trump against bombing bridges and power plants in Iran saying it would be a war crime. Democrats in Congress are also saying it would be a war crime and threaten to impeach and imprison the President if he does it. President Trump pointed out that the threat of a nuclear Iran cannot be tolerated. The reporter kept yelling at him and Trump ignored him. Once again, Democrats and many media members prove they want Iran to have nuclear weapons. Why?

I used the Earthquake Torque Reduction system today for the first time. We need to drill 250 holes to plant trees this week. We were using a regular auger to dig holes for the last two years, but when you hit rocks, it knocks the hell out of our shoulders. We were going to dig them by hand again until I found Earthquake Augers. It works great. Even when you hit rocks it doesn't hurt my shoulders. I love it!

As the bombing of Iran continues members of the American media are losing their minds because President Trump is using graphic language to threaten Iranian leaders if they do not open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump says they must open the Strait or face Hell. CNN’s Jake Tapper is offended by that language and wants President Trump to be more polite because children might hear what he says. And a panel of Trump haters on MS NOW were very disturbed by the President’s language. Now, mind you, these are the same people who thought Obama’s Iranian deal to stop building nuclear weapons was working. They will not be offended in the least by a nuclear Iran threatening to bomb America, but they are beside themselves because the President said he will send them to Hell. It doesn’t get any sicker than this, does it. Democrats and their media allies hoping Iran wins hoping they get nuclear weapons all because they hate President Trump. If you vote for a Democrat in the midterm elections this is what you are voting for.

There are 1,020 days until the next President of the United States is sworn in. For democrats the days are long and sad. For Republicans they are short and wonderful.

The rescue of the two pilots from the downed F-15 Fighter Jet was a brilliant operation led by the US Military and aided by the CIA. It was more thrilling that any Hollywood action movie. After the pilot was rescued, a search was underway for the second crewman led by the CIA who finally located him safely ensconced in a mountain crevice. The Iranian military was also trying to find him and if they captured him it would have been a disaster for him, his family, and the Trump administration because the Iranians and the American press would have used his capture as proof that the bombing was a failure and the Iranians were winning. Instead, it became another Easter miracle as the CIA planted false evidence to the Iranians saying the pilot had already been found and was on his way out of the country. That gave US Special Forces the time they needed to launch a rescue mission using helicopters to find him and get him home safely. One of the F-15 crewmembers was seriously injured but is expected to make a complete recovery. Once again, the US Military shows why it is far and away the best in the world.

300 Fraser Fir and 50 Blue Spruce seedlings will be delivered this week. We will plant 250 in the ground and 100 in pots. We put a mixture of loam, pearlite and peat moss into the pots yesterday then put them inside the fence so the deer can't get to them.

He is Risen.

There are 1,021 days until the next President of the United States is sworn in. For democrats the days are long and sad. For Republicans they are short and wonderful.

The broccoli seedlings are now two weeks old and today I will mix some mild fertilizer with water and see how much of a boost it gives them. I like the progress of the plants so far.

There are 1,022 days until the next President of the United States is sworn in. For democrats the days are long and sad. For Republicans they are short and wonderful.

There are 1,023 days until the next President of the United States is sworn in. For democrats the days are long and sad. For Republicans they are short and wonderful.

OMG Barrack Obama the guy who tried to end America’s space program says he is inspired by the launch of four astronauts on a mission to circle the moon in preparation to land there as early as 2028. What a joke. I’m surprised he didn’t try to take credit for the successful launch. He says he hopes the four astronauts will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps. Yeah, right.

So, Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General. There is a lot of speculation why she is gone, but she is. Some say it is because of the clumsy way she handled the release of the Epstein files. Others say she did not prosecute Trump’s enemies fast enough or hard enough. In any event, she is gone and rumor has it that Lee Zeldon will take her place. Trump says she will be taking a job in the private sector. Will she still be connected to President Trump in some way? That is the rumor, but how.

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadien Space Agency Astronaut Jeremy Hanson are now sitting in a tiny capsule circling at 38,000 feet above the earth after the successful launch of the Artemis II rocket that will soon leave earth orbit and head for the moon. The ten-day mission will see the ship circle within 5,000 miles of the moon as the crew tests system that will set the stage for a moon landing sometime in the future. After circling the moon, the crew will head back to earth. It was great watching the launch and I think everyone was holding their breath until it became clear that the crew was going to safely make it into space. After a long hiatus America is back in the space race hoping to beat the Chinese to the moon. They are planning to be on the moon in 2030. If the Artemis II mission is successful Americans could be on the moon by 2028. Fingers crossed.
